Chelsea sign Southampton striker Jimmy-Jay Morgan for £6m to bolster academy ranks

By Nizaar Kinsella - 01 Feb 2023

Chelsea have signed 17-year-old Southampton striker Jimmy-Jay Morgan for a reported £6million fee, plus add-ons.

卻爾西簽下南安普頓 17 歲的前鋒吉米杰．摩根，轉會費 600 萬英鎊，外加附加條款。

The highly sought-after youngster had been an unused substitute at St Mary’s but joins primarily to bolster the Blues’ academy ranks.

這名備受好評的小將曾坐上南安普頓一線隊的替補席，但沒有出場。現在他將充實卻爾西的青訓。

Morgan spent time in Chelsea’s academy at the age of eight but returned to Southampton due to the difficulty of long car journeys to and from his home on the south coast.

摩根八歲時曾待過卻爾西的青訓，但因為往返南海岸和倫敦舟車勞頓，所以選擇回到南安普頓。

The considerable size of the capital club’s offer and his refusal to sign a new contract forced Southampton to accept the sale despite Morgan having 18 months left on his current deal.

如今合約只剩 18 個月的摩根拒絕續約，再加上卻爾西開出不錯的條件，南安普頓只好選擇放人。

The Blues are keen to invest heavily in their academy teams and beat a host of clubs, including Leeds, to his signature.

卻爾西積極投資在青訓上，他們擊敗了里茲聯等其他追求者，簽下了摩根。

Southampton manager Nathan Jones had been weighing up offering Morgan a debut in recent weeks after a spell training with the first-team.

摩根最近都跟著南安普頓一線隊訓練，主教練瓊斯最近幾週曾想讓他初次登場。

“A fantastic player with a bright future if he picks the right choices and people working with him handle him well,” he said ahead of last weekend’s FA Cup win over Blackpool.

瓊斯在上週末足總盃戰勝布萊克浦前說： "摩根是非常棒的球員，如果他做出正確的選擇，而且在他身邊工作的人好好對待他的話，他的未來會非常光明。"

Jones’s words came after a run of six goals and five assists in 13 games at youth level this season. The England Under-17 striker was a prolific scorer last year too, scoring 27 goals for the Saints’ U16s before being promoted to the U18s and scoring 13 more.

摩根本季在青年隊出賽 13 場進 6 球、助攻 5 次，這名英格蘭 U17 國家隊的前鋒上賽季也收穫頗豐，在南安普頓 U16 隊進了 27 球，升上 U18 隊後又進了 13 球。

Chelsea had poached goalkeeper Eddie Beach and forward Tyler Dibling from Saints in the summer, the latter of whom has since returned due to homesickness.

卻爾西去年夏天已從南安普頓手上得到兩名球員，包括門將畢奇和前鋒迪布林，但後者因為思鄉病已選擇回去老東家。
